Paper Feed / Transport Mechanism
When a feed signal is entered into the base unit, the selected pickup motor in the tray operates
and the pickup roller rotates and the first paper on the top is picked up towards the base unit.
By this time, the paper to be fed by the feed pressure of Acufeed arm assy is separated and fed
one by one.
The paper leading edge is fed by the pickup roller to the transport roller, and then the rest part of
the paper is fed by the transport roller through Mid roller to in the base unit and complete the
feed. But, the pickup roller rotates every time by the preset rotation encoder number.
When the paper is not carried to the transport roller due to the paper or feeding condition, the
pickup roller additionally picks it up two more times again.
If all the paper loaded is fed out, the sensor of the remaining paper detection detects it and
shows the paper has run out.
